How Is Bovine Genital Leptospirosis Diagnosed Under Field Conditions?
Article in Animals : an open access journal from MDPI, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Bovine genital leptospirosis (BGL) is a chronic reproductive disease in cattle, often causing significant economic losses, and is commonly associated with leptospiral strains belonging to the Sejroe serogroup. A two-step protocol was recommended, based on serological screening of the herds followed by an individual diagnosis with PCR of a genital sample. Although proposed, it has not been commonly applied under field conditions, leading to frustrating outcomes in disease control. In that context, the present study aimed to demonstrate the viability of that two-step protocol under field conditions for diagnosing BGL in eight herds with reproductive disorders. Blood samples were collected from 440 cows for serology. In addition, 304 cervicovaginal mucus (CVM) samples were collected for
